HOUSE ON EDEN: Shudder Acquires Found Footage Entry From Kris Collins and Celina Myers
Shudder has acquired found footage horror flick House on Eden from Canadian content creators Kris Collins and Celina Myers.
... paranormal investigators Kris, Celina, and their videographer Jay expect the usual scares when they set out on their latest case. But after being mysteriously rerouted to an abandoned house deep in the woods, they find themselves facing a force unlike anything they’ve encountered before. As the night spirals into chaos, missing crew members and eerie phenomena hint at an ancient, malevolent presence watching their every move.
We know Collins and Myers from their online sketches and comedy routines so our first thought was, can they do horror? If we had dug a little further into their professional lives we would already know that Myers has their own horror podcast and is a published horror author. So yeah, they can do horror. Look, we are old and keeping track of content creators makes us sleepy just thinking about it.
House on Eden will be released exclusively in cinemas on July 25th.
